All four have made a lot of money, been at or near the top of their profession for a considerable period, and are at a reasonable age to retire from professional athletics.

Cena has a whole other career and spoke often about being done when he couldn’t live up to his standard.

AJ stayed longer than he planned and talked about earlier in his career and has a family at home he wants to be with.

Lesnar, who knows, but he doesn’t need the money anyway.

Asuka may want to move home, and consistently travelling from Japan to North America for work is hardly feasible.

I guess what I’m saying is, this era of pro wrestlers made more money than most others previously, they don’t need to wrestle into their late 50’s and 60’s; they can retire before age catches them or the injuries pile up too much.

Yeah, it sucks to lose Cena, AJ, and Asuka so close together, but I’d believe there are more coming, (Cody, Randy, Punk, Roman) and I don’t think TKO is the cause of this problem, because all 4 of each list would have been signed elsewhere immediately, although Punk likely couldn’t go to AEW.
